Leadership

lead·er·ship/ˈlēdərˌSHip/

Noun:

1. The action of leading a group of people or an organization.
2. The state or position of being a leader.

I've never really thought of myself as a leader, maybe it's just the way I was raised - mom always told me to be humble!  But after reading the definition of leadership, I thought about what I do on a daily basis.  As a coach, I do lead a group of people.  As the gym manager, I do help lead an organization.  As a mother, I am in a leadership position. Funny how different things look, when you see them on paper!!!  If asked what my characteristics were, I never in a million years would've listed "a leader" as one of them - just for the record my list would include: hilarious, sarcastic and fabulously dressed :-) 

I guess it's time for me to take ownership of the fact that I am, a leader.  Maybe not a vocal leader, but a leader by example.  Hopefully, I continue to grow and embrace this, so others will continue to follow me down the "healthy highway" ha!!
